This is a replacement bottom dovetail bracket for the HandyDob6, the original had a loose fit and was only held in place with friction. this has a simple lip to catch the bottom and is slightly wider (45mm vs 43mm) so there is no more horizontal movement.I designed this to hold my PiFinder more securely. Its only slightly larger than the original so it should still fit in the case easily, you will reuse the dovetail bracket, nuts, screws and washers. I printed with PETG-CF to match the scope but this should work with regular PETG without issue…I used tree supports for the lip, I generally use the following setting for Astronomy related prints:.20 Strength ProfileArachne Wall GeneratorPainted Supports on overhangs (In this case you do not need to support where the nuts insert)Variable Layer Height (Adaptive, default quality/speed)
